Employer Matching Gifts

Requesting a matching gift is normally very quick–just minutes– and must be initiated by the donor. You can do this by filling out and submitting a paper form provided by your employer or through an electronic submission process.

 There are typically 3 steps:

1. Donate
   Make your personal donation and save your tax receipt, or contact malloryb@friends-select.org if you need another copy Many matching programs will allow for up to one year after you've made your donation to request a corporate match.

2. Search
   Using the search bar, find out if your company offers a matching gift program and review the guidelines. The information on what your company matches and links to the matching gift forms will be included in your search results. No results? Contact your HR department directly to ask if they offer a matching gift program.

3. Match
   There are two common ways to submit the matching gift request:

   1. Click on your company's intranet link provided in the search results. Log-in and submit your request electronically.

   2. Download your company's matching gift verification form using the link provided in the search results. Print it, fill it out and send it to us.

4. We will take care of the rest!
